Many WWE fans were shocked last Tuesday when former NXT Women's Champion Bayley was not selected in the WWE Draft to either Raw or SmackDown, and those same fans are hoping she debuts Sunday night at Battleground as Sasha Banks' mystery partner in a tag match against Charlotte.

Bayley is arguably the most popular star remaining in NXT and has been in the WWE's developmental division for more than three years, and along with Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Banks helped ignite the women's wrestling revolution in WWE. When those three were finally called up to the main roster, though, Bayley remained in NXT and eventually lost her title to Asuka just before WrestleMania 32. In the days leading up to Battleground, Bayley joined Chris Jericho's podcast to discuss her journey to WWE and how she feels about being passed over as a main roster call-up.

Bayley also revealed the origin of her signature entrance, which she says wasn't originally intended for her.
